The model was stitched on 28 count opalescent Lugana fabric, a ‘solo’ piece from Silkweaver Fabrics. Finished block is 41 x 41 stitches in size.
While I do include a floss key for the colors I used to stitch the piece, I do encourage you to choose your own colors to match your holiday decor or to suit the cross stitched ornament gift that you’re creating for someone. Have fun with it, use up some leftovers from your stash, or pull out those hand dyed threads you’ve been ‘saving for later’ to try out.
Whatever colors you decide on, I look forward to seeing your finished ornament. I hope you’ll come by and share a photo with me in the Stitching the Night Away Facebook group, use hashtag #stitchingthenightaway and/or tag me @retta719 on Instagram, or even email me directly.
This ornament was inspired by a combination of classic quilt designs and Celtic knot motifs. The way the blocks are laid out, you can finish it as a traditional ornament or as a biscornu if you prefer.
